Is it possible to get an A in physics edexcel

module 1: secure b
module 2: high c
CA:A*
module 3: anticipating A *

please someone reply!

Depends on the UMS but I think an A is possible even if you only get an A in module 3. I'm no expert but that's what I would estimate.

I am not too sure about this hypothesis because AQA seemed to mark the June 12 Unit 1 papers more slackly than the January 2012 Unit 1 papers.For example 1% of people got an A* in B1 in January but 10% got an A* in B1 in June, which seems fishy and the BBC did an article on it-http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-19599279.So I would expect the marking to be harsher because its the first sitting.

Good Luck to everyone did anybody do OCR Geography A? or looking at starting AQA AS Geography in September?

It's the final countdown...

2 days 12 hours 13 minutes for me.

Lucky!

In a world where you can order pizza online and have it delivered quicker than an ambulance takes to arrive, I really don't see why we can't just get it all via a secure email or account or whatever. I appreciate this does happen with some boards but in 2013 this really should be universal by now...

i think it's just tradition

Is it true that the individual subject teachers know your grade for that subject before you open your envelope? Ill be paying close attention to my teachers when I arrive if so...

Hi fellow GCSE students! We don't have long to wait! Anyway, I've noticed but a continuing pattern when browsing the GCSE forums that amuses me; on the GCSE prediction threads, the majority of people say their predictions are '10 A*'s' etc... it just baffles me how everyone can have the same predictions! Personally, my predictions are 2 A* 6 A's 4 B's. Who else agrees everyone else seems to have A* predictions...? It's tiresome, yet amusing!

Ahhh AQA Geography, it's a decent course. I did it in Year 9 and 10. Got an A in population, tourism and urban environments then an A* in ecosystems, tectonic activity and rivers with an A in my rivers coursework. Got an A overall in it

The maps one didn't go so well.

The one about population change and tourism was good.

Yes, I found it quite interesting. our coursework was on a town and it's decline. We went to Bangor and did a survey and studied the land use which I quite enjoyed! We did the same topics then? I quite enjoyed tourism surprisingly, and tectonics.
